Re: Has anyone came up sucessful.....
Our tracking code works FABULOUSLY! I am stunned and amazed, and more than a little impressed. After so many years where camera tracking was marginal and intermittent, I have never seen something work so well and consistently. We enable the robot (pointed anywhere), it seeks and locates the target within a second, and drives right to it regardless of robot weight, trailer weight, or slippage. We are putting our autonomous tracking routine into our teleoperated mode so with a switch of a trigger the robot will drive itself to the target.

So, since I didn't do the programming, I've got to know - are lots of teams having this success with the new camera and software, or is my programmer just a genius?
